Trait over time

Every line of spirits begins with one who strayed far enough from their ancestors. Each bar is a line’s life: its length how long it lasted, its thickness how large it grew. Faded lines are gone.

The spirits speak with eight runes. Nothing tells them what a rune means: each learns from what follows its words, and from those around it. Below is how often each line uses each rune, and how far apart their dialects have drifted.

Lens

Tint every spirit by something hidden.
